He's already signed his Plan B. It's the only move he's made....
-
If he could do THAT at the ML level, he's an All Star. Realistically, he's Jarrod Dyson with a slightly better bat. So now we have to see what the market says Dyson is worth...

Cherington didn't sign Price

And if he doesn't flame out, he becomes a valuable asset.

And if his defense is that good, he is silly to not add. Castillo has averaged 1 DRS for every 44innings and cost $36mill for 3 years. Jarrod Dyson and his career OPS of .677 has averaged 1DRS for every 58.5 innings and was projected to earn $36mill over 3 years, although that does look less likely right now. Right now Castillo is a costly AAA player with potentially game-changing defensive skills. But in the majors, he might also become solid trade bait. Or make Bradley solid trade bait. In fact, if I was a GM who needed a CF, I'd be trying to fleece Boston out of this guy with a bad contract I already had...

Assuming that team actually exists...

The Red Sox might have the best offer. In fact it might be the only one. Teams just aren't rushing to hand out big deals this off-season. Maybe they're being cognizant of how many go bad. Maybe they're just cheap. Maybe they're waiting for next off-season. Or any combination. But as of now, no one else seems to have a confirmed offer over 3 years except the extremely foolish Eric Hosmer. ..

He won't get called up but he should. Bryce Brentz is a waste of a 40-man roster spot...
-
No one is linked to JD except Boston. ..

I am not compelled to reveal my sources...

Castillo is light years better than Brentz and Barfield. He is costly, but his defense is worth it. Or appears to be in his small sample size. In 723 career innings in the outfield, Castillo has 18 DRS. That number would have tied for fourth in MLB last year with Jason Heyward and Yasiel Puig. Only Betts, Buxton and Brett Gardner had more. And all of them played well over 723 innings. In fact, all were over 1,000..

Maybe the Padres, who clearly have $140million kicking around, swoop in and grab him....
-
So when does this flurry of free agent signings begin? I'm predicting a record number of hold outs this year even add the season starts. ..

It's Rusney Time...
-
I know the Sox want to prevent his arbitration numbers from getting out of hand, but at some point Mookie is going to point out he is still making less than Pablo Sandoval and Rusney Castillo. ..
-
Every single soul in the media is 100% convinced Martinez will end up in Boston. The Diamondback buzz is apparently contingent upon trading Greinke, who happens to have the highest AAV in MLB history. There is no peep connecting him elsewhere So yes, I expect some completely unexpected team to swoop in shortly...
-
Even the Astros weren't perfect with their high draft pick - Mark Appel being a prime example. In fact Appel was a bad pick for both Houston and Pittsburgh, I believe. ..
-
Even the Marlins?
-
That year he did try to shut himself down at the advice of his doctor, but he did come back for the post-season. ..

Trading for Kimbrel, Pomeranz and Sale took us out of the sweepstakes for Cole....
-
I think Gary Matthews Jr has that tattooed on his forehead...
-
Are you really getting upset by this? They gave up a lot more to get Cole than the Yankees did to get Stanton...
-
Corey Patterson was the #2 prospect. Sometimes maybe you do. Bear in mind that the best GM in baseball gave Torres up for a rental...
-
The Pirates also got outfielder Jason Martin and RHP Michael Feliz. Minorleagueball.com has Moran as the#5 prospect and Martin at #13.
